Original caption
A book written by a man who probably died for writing it. Oromay by Baalu Girma is a scathing satire of the Derg regime and its brutal attempts to crush the Eritrean independence movement. Published in 1983. Girma disappeared shortly after. Never seen again. Some books cost everything. This one is worth reading. #ethiopia #eritreantiktok #habeshatiktok
